Disposable resuscitation valves appear as relatively simple devices used to ventilate patients during both emergent situations and transport from the operating room to the intensive care unit. We report a case of a nonfunctional disposable resuscitation valve that resulted in barotrauma and bilateral pneumothoraces. A routine check for proper function of these valves before use in critically ill patients may help to eliminate such cases.
一次性复苏阀看似是相对简单的设备,用于在紧急情况以及从手术室转运至重症监护病房期间为患者通气。我们报告一例一次性复苏阀功能失效导致气压伤和双侧气胸的病例。在用于重症患者之前对这些阀门进行常规功能检查可能有助于避免此类情况发生。
